Sentinel®(milbemycin oxime - lufenuron) Flavor Tabs®

First, Novartis brought you Program. The revolutionary medication that controls fleas with one monthly, mealtime dose. It soon became the number one selling companion animal product in Canada. Then we brought you Interceptor, a single compound, given once a month, that eliminated the risk of heartworm disease, and treated and controlled intestinal parasites like hookworm, whipworm and two types of roundworm.

In 1997, Novartis introduced Sentinel, the ONLY once a month mealtime tablet recommended for year-round use to prevent heartworm disease, treat intestinal parasites and prevent flea infestations by preventing fleas from being able to reproduce. When you use Sentinel you won't need regular applications of flea sprays, spot-ons or collars to control fleas. The easy to administer oral tablet, given with a full meal every month, lets you stay close to your dog all day, every day, all season long. And best of all...it's GUARANTEED.

Active Ingredients

The active ingredient that controls fleas in Sentinel is lufenuron , a benzoylphenyl urea (BPU) derivative. BPU's have been tested since the 1970s for their activity on insects. All BPU's, including lufenuron, are classified as Insect Development Inhibitors (IDI's). Lufenuron is a component of both Sentinel and Program and is Guaranteed by Novartis Animal Health.

MADE IN CANADA , Lufenuron remains the only oral insect development inhibitor (IDI) available to control flea infestations, and is the highest selling flea control componant in the world. It has been available in Canada since 1994, and is currently marketed in over 30 countries worldwide. The greatest benefits of lufenuron are its efficacy and its safety. It remains 100% effective in preventing fleas from reproducing for over 30 days following a single mealtime dose, and lufenuron has no toxicity or metabolism in mammals, so there is no chance of it harming your pet!
